Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2021

[MMID303]

How about Ospreys? They have been more active in my home area lately and they have a distinctive sound that is louder than helos. Sorry to miss all the activity there guys, I am in Virginia Beach for the air show.

Very likely, I've seen them pretty often. They also like to come up during the night and do weird low flying maneuvers over the mountain. Sometimes you can't see them but hear them.

KC-10 #79-1947 was CLEAN 01.

I imagine Pease will add one or two KC-46's for CLEAN duty.
Maybe for the Wisconsin 115th FW dozen F-16's deployment to sand pit via Spain or B-1's to UK?

AF-2 #01-0041 showing Eastbound from Palm Springs. WH would not comment on reason for trip..
I will leave that one alone

 

[Mark]

Does anyone know the plane he might be using for this visit?

On 3-5 October 2021, NATO Secretary General, Mr. Jens Stoltenberg, will have a working visit to Washington DC (USA). During the visit, Mr. Stoltenberg will meet with senior U.S. officials and lawmakers.

Thinking one of those Netherlands based NATO types. Maybe a A330 MRTT tanker/pax type?
Yesterday NAF-43 KDC-10 (480C01) NATO Netherlands came West but went direct Texas.

A lot of C17s out of Seymour Johnson this week and Clean 02 looks headed there. Maybe. F15s deploying.

Odd. Just heard LV-KBL on 126.15 while IVO Front Royal. I have that as Phillips AAF. But this guy with a foreign accent was reading back route clearance info. Eventually he was advised to go back to 128.525 which is where I got his ID.

I found 126.15 as clearance delivery for Winchester KOKV.

Rgr saw Dover and McGuire had a few going to SJ but they did the same over a Month ago

ADSBX seems screwy now.. Not loading here.

Not surprised as NOBLE 21,22 were constantly complaining about mechanical problems with
their jets,sore butts etc.. One of them wouldnt take fuel correctly as well.
Funny guys though as said both of them have Birthdays the next few days..
Our Parents must have had a good time at the New Years eve parties back then..LOL

COSMIC's using 228.150 for Boom freq.
A McGuire KC-135 to SJ tonight 62-3544..

 

[Mark]

OK to summarize the 3 KC-135's to SJ today were.
CLEAN 02 64-14835 452AMW Cal.
CLEAN 12 63-8000 6th AMW MacDill
CLEAN 22 63-3544 108Wg McGuire.
Looks like 3 groups of aircraft maybe Sunday night or more likely early Monday am.Prob let them watch football Sunday
After KC-46A's/135's topoff KC-10's in the Northeast the KC-10's will probably take them thirsty F-15E's across..
If they are replacing the 494th FS down range will send 18 F-15E's.Lajes is closer flight at about 4 hours.
A topped off KC-10 can maybe make Spain or UK with 6 F-15E's. I think the 336th FS is up next as last deployed Dec 2017.
All F-15E squads do a 6 month rotation overseas.. Mountain Home,RAF Lakenheath,Seymour J.

This ? F-OZSF. I have not been able to access ADSB Exchange for the last few hours. You seem to be getting it at 9:14. Am I missing something ?

Okay thanks. It seems to be some sort of an issue with Google Chrome, I see now it works okay using an iPad or MS Edge. Any other Chrome users having problems ?

ADSB quit working on my Chrome browser earlier.. Works fine on Firefox now on Windows 10.. Odd.

CAP for the TFR was F15s today (if that wasn't already confirmed) - surprisingly they're much quieter than the F16s that have been up recently

Maybe the new fiscal year means a new rotation. Know which unit they were from?
